There were several very tight bends with only short straight sections and a very narrow race track hemmed in by barriers.<\/p>\n

It made for some good action shots.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We found that the best place to take these shots was on the bends .<\/p>\n

To make sure there were no mishaps, there were outriders ahead of and behind the races.<\/p>\n

While the races and action shots were the main focus, there were also opportunites for other subjects such as candid\u00a0 shots…<\/p>\n
